Mentions of Keats are more of a pity and a sigh in my heart 25 years old only 25 years old a great young poet just so gone I read his poems in junior high Although I did not understand his meaning at the time, it was the first poet I knew and was moved by it. When I was only 12 years old, I remembered a collection of poems by foreign poets that I stumbled across on my dad's bookshelf. It also had Shakespeare in it.
The short-lived romantic poet "On February 23, 1821, he died in Rome and was buried in the English Protestant cemetery at the age of 25. . It is recognized that when he stopped writing at the age of 24, his contribution to poetry had greatly surpassed that of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton in the same year."

Shining Star---John Keats to Fanny Braun
Shining star, I hope I can be as firm as you -
but not alone in the night sky with twinkling high and
open eyes that never close,
like an ascetic hermit
staring sleepless at night staring at the sea washing the earth's cliffs
like a priest bathing
or rectifying The wastelands and mountains overlooking the lower realm
are covered in a softly falling snow cover --
not so -- but always firm as always
Lying on the breast of my beautiful love
can always feel its softness ups and downs
always sober, in a sweet unrest in
never, never hear her gentle breathing
forever live ---- and die or fainting
